I would like to configure my TF2 server so that whenever a new user joins, they are assigned to a team without bots, only humans. The opposite team should be all bots are on the reverse team.
Is there a way to configure a TF2 server in this manner?

The server alias syntax is the same as on the client side. You can place aliases inside server.cfg or choose to separate them into their own file for the sake of neatness.
server.cfg
exec aliases.cfg
aliases.cfg
alias "meleeon" "sm_cvar sm_meleemode_enabled 1;sm_cvar example 0"
alias "meleeoff" "sm_cvar sm_meleemode_enabled 0;sm_cvar example 1"
You should also be able to change the default values of cvars registered in SourceMod plugins or have them vary by map. Just ask if that interests you.
If you right click the header, you can unhide the 'Bots' column. A regular server with bots will then advertise its bot count (unless there are enough humans playing; then it's not an issue right that second):
Be aware that some servers do not advertise their bot count at all, which is what you might be experiencing. If you're playing on Egypt in stage 3, you'll be able to easily tell humans from bots running against the wall; otherwise it can be quite hard to tell those bots apart.
What you can try is logging in at an unusual time where hardly anybody is online, like European morning. Those servers with 23/24 players (or similar) are probably entirely bots; go ahead and blacklist those. They're typically 24/7 servers or idle "trading" servers.
Sometimes I wish servers weren't this moddable.

Set the cvar
mp_humans_must_join_teamto either"red"or"blue"in your server.cfgThe valid values for this cvar are:
"any"(this is the default)"spectator""red""blue"Side note: The cvar is likely ignored for the MvM game mode where players are always put on the RED team.
